Crimes Against the Suffrage.

BOSTON JONTHdI
Probably Democratic consprators will go on
committing frauds against the suffrage long
as that party has existence. But it would be
a libel upon one half of the American people to
assume that all Democrats approve of such
transactions. The fact is, that political
party and no honest man afford to be indif-
ferent to crimes against the suffrage, by whom
ever committed Our system of government
is poised upon the sancity of the ballot If that
can be assailed with impunity, everything is
gone party which gains advantage by
fraudulent means buys its victory at a dreadful
cost In indicating the law at this point there
FORE and in establishing and defending the safe
guards of the ballot, there ought to be no part-
sanship, but good mon of all parties should re-
ioice when offenders punished.

THE Standard Oil Company at Findlay,
Ohio, have made another reduction in the
price Of crude petroleum. putting the price to
10 cents barrel, the lowest point ever
touched in the history of the product. The
reduction is the result of competition among
producers, and, it is alleged. will have the
effect of practically closing the entire north
western Ohio oil fields which have a capacity
of 100 900 barrels per day.

SIamming Doors.

One of the rudest habits of ill-bred
and thoughtless persons, is that of
slamming doors. Once I called with
a friend upon a sick person whose
nerves had become so painfully acute
through suffering that noise tortured
her. a screen door opened from her
room to the hall, and as callers or
members of the family passed in or
out, quick sharp slam of this door
followed close on their egress or in
gress. The torture of the noise sent
a spasm Of pain across the sick wo-
mans face, but she bore it uncom-
plainingly, thinking it more endura-
Bile than flies and mosquitoes, and no
one had noticed or thought to lessen
this annoyance, until my friends
kind heart and quick eye prompted
and planned a remedy. She called
for lacks and cotton batting, and
making firm little cushions of the bat
ting, she tackled them up and down
the casing where the door would
strike, and the sharp slambang was
instantly softencd as the door swung
to. The grateful language and
glance of the sick woman made me
wish that I, too, had eyes that could
see ways to be helpful towards
Others.
